Zazu Kitchen + Farm Restaurant Review

: Pork is celebrated from "snout to tail" at this industrial chic restaurant located in The Barlow from spouse-chefs John Stewart and Duskie Estes. (The duo also own Black Pig Meat Co. and Zazu farm.) Choose a spot inside or outside and begin with a Bourbon & Bacon cocktail, an order of chicharrones or Black Pig bacon caramel popcorn. The daily salumi special is handcrafted; consider, too, the bacon-wrapped dates. The savory bacon burger is complemented by pimento cheese; apple panzanella salad is artfully balanced with, yes, bacon, as well as goat cheese; the BLT is made with local artisan bread and garden fresh tomatoes. Among the desserts, try the Devil's Food baby cake, pie à la mode, or "better butters" --- peanut butter ice cream sandwiches dipped in chocolate fondue. Stewart and Estes have crafted a nice list of local wines, including their own Black Pig label, as well as local beer and spirits. On nice days, enjoy the sunny patio or sit near the roll-up doors for people-watching at the bustling Barlow.
